I know the above post is a lot to read, and even more to ingest. I'd like to repost one key paragraph, the one on his 10 steps to being the hero, rather than the evil doer.
Within the book Dr Zimbardo gives us a ten-step program to resist unwanted influences. (p 451) I’ll merely list the headings here:<font color="blue"> <ul type="square">[*]“I made a mistake,”[*]“I am mindful,”[*] “I am responsible,”[*] “I am Me, the best I can be,”[*] “I respect just authority but rebel against unjust authority,”[*] “I want group acceptance, but value my independence,”[*] “I will be more frame-vigilant,”[*] “I will balance my time perspective,”[*] “I will not sacrifice personal or civic freedoms for the illusion of security,” and[*]“ I can oppose unjust systems.”[/list]</font>
I'm interested in hearing (and know drclay is also) which of these you do easily and/or which of these are the most difficult for you. If you haven't happen to have worked on any of them, being the first time to see them, why not share which one you think is most important for you to work on first?
I'll begin

I think the one I need to work on is "I will be more frame-vigilant."
